Sunday: Phone call from my mom saying my dad is in the hospital for back pain.
Monday: I get sick with fever, chills, nausea
Tuesday: I'm home from work sick and get "the call". My Dad was diagnosed with cancer-Multiple Myeloma. My world is turned upside down.
Thursday: Owen gets sick in the night. Vomiting and fever.
Friday: We stay home from work and daycare to mend.
As you can see it's been a difficult week. I wish I could say I've been the model Christian and have felt positive and trusted in the Lord the whole time. I've tried to do this but I'm exhausted for many reasons. What I do know is that God is good, He is just, He is holy, He is God. In all the crap of life we can cling to the hope we have in Jesus and that this is not our home. Eternity awaits and that's enough to get me to tomorrow.
In the midst of the madness, I have two (actually 3) boys in my life who make me smile. Here Owen smiles at Mama.

Love those eyes!

So sorry to hear about your Dad. You are in my thoughts & prayers.
Oh Susie! I was wondering why you were out so much this week! Will be praying for your father's recovery and comfort and peace for you and your family. It's hard to trust that what is happening is right and part of "the plan" but that's part of faith, right? Doesn't make it any easier, that's for sure. If you ever need to talk or a shoulder to cry on or a hug at work you know where my room is. :)
Susie,
Sorry to hear about your dad. Will be sending lots of prayers for all of you! Say hi to your parents from me!
Jen
Hang in there, Susie. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
